KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1241 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

-Above normal temperatures will continue for the seven day forecast period, with elevated Fire Weather conditions possible on Saturday and again on Monday.

SHORT TERM

(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 1241 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Broad scale high over the western and central CONUS will continue through the short term with a cutoff low approaching the Baja area on Saturday. Overall, this will continue that above normal temperature trend, but we still have a very cold deep upper trough centered over the Great Lakes region, and a very weak wave on the back side of the trough will help bring some cooler air mainly over Oklahoma, but some of that will spill over to the eastern Panhandle. That will limit high more in the mid to upper 60s tomorrow v.s. lower to mid 70s that the rest of the Panhandles should expect. Now to the west where it's expected to be warmer, we will be dealing with a lee surface low that will track across the area and kick those winds up around 20 mph. With lower RH values coupled with winds around 20 mph, we can expect elevated Fire Weather condition on Saturday. Saturday night lows will be pretty mild as lows are expected to be upper 30s to mid 40s.

LONG TERM

(Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 1241 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Sunday will be a quiet day with light northerly winds on the back side of the low from Saturday. Temperatures across the board should be in the lower to mid 70s. So a very quiet day. Monday will be a bit warmer with highs in the mid 70s as more southwest flow ahead of that closed low off the Baja. Right now pops have been stripped for Tuesday and Wednesday as the system is expected to track south of the Panhandles and take the moisture with it. That being said, Tuesday onward we could see some cooler near normal temperatures, at least for the northern Panhandles, as a series of cold fronts clip the Panhandles, but there is high pressure attempting to rebuild over the southern US and it could bring warmer temperatures over the area, at least to the south. But overall even the coolest days highs will likely be at least mid 50s to lower 60s.
